First published in 1999, this volume considers the 17th century philosopher Leibniz and his views on Freedom and Determinism, aiming to show that his solution is in many respects superior to those of Aquinias and Molina. The author thoroughly explores Leibniz in the light of Aquinas and Molina, first examining their positions on freedom and determinism, followed by Leibniz on freedom, contingency and determinism, the denial of freedom of pure indifference, freedom and divine foreknowledge and major interpretations of his philosophy.

This dissertation explores two aspects of freedom in Malebranche and Leibniz. The first concerns the freedom with which God creates. Malebranche and Leibniz both think that God sees reasons to create a world, and that God freely decides to create a world in light of those reasons. They disagree, though, both about what the reasons are for why God creates and the sense in which God is free in creating. The second issue concerns their agreement that God and humans are free in the same sense, a controversial position in the period. I argue that Malebranche's God creates a world with the purpose of glorifying himself. Furthermore, Malebranche's God's decision to create instead of doing nothing whatsoever involves the indifference of equilibrium. This is because God glorifies himself whether he creates a world or not. An implication of this position is that there is no contrastive explanation for why God creates a world instead of doing nothing whatsoever. A notoriously difficult question for Malebranche is how his account of human freedom is consistent with his commitment to occasionalism. I argue that recognizing that human freedom for Malebranche, too, involves an indifference of equilibrium allows an interpretation of Malebranche's account of freedom that does not undermine his commitment to occasionalism. A problem for Leibniz is that it is unclear how the existence of the best possible world can be contingent if it is metaphysically necessary that God chooses whatever seems best to him. I deny that it is metaphysically necessary that God chooses whatever seems best to him. Instead, for Leibniz, God's decision to create the best possible world is free and contingent because it is founded on his free decision to set his will to always choose whatever is best. This decision is free because it is formally indemonstrable from God's nature. Recognizing that this decision is free shows how it can be that unactualized possibles strive for existence in their very nature, while also maintaining that the existence of the best set of them is contingent. Finally, I argue that, against what Leibniz's 1686 essay "On Necessary and Contingent Truths" may suggest, Leibniz maintains that there is a univocal sense in which all intelligent agents are free.

The revival of Leibniz studies in the past twenty-five years has cast important new light on both the context and content of Leibniz's philosophical thought. Where earlier English-language scholarship understood Leibniz's philosophy as issuing from his preoccupations with logic and language, recent work has recommended an account on which theological, ethical, and metaphysical themes figure centrally in Leibniz's thought throughout his career. The significance of these themes to the development of Leibniz's philosophy is the subject of increasing attention by philosophers and historians. This collection of new essays by a distinguished group of scholars offers an up-to-date overview of the current state of Leibniz research. In focusing on nature and freedom, the volume revisits two key topics in Leibniz's thought, on which he engaged both contemporary and historical arguments. Important contributions to Leibniz scholarship in their own right, these articles collectively provide readers a framework in which to better situate Leibniz's distinctive philosophy of nature and the congenial home for a morally significant freedom that he took it to provide.

"Theodicy" is a book of philosophy by the German polymath Gottfried Leibniz published in 1710, whose optimistic approach to the problem of evil is thought to have inspired Voltaire's "Candide". Much of the work consists of a response to the ideas of the French philosopher Pierre Bayle, with whom Leibniz carried on a debate for many years. The "Theodicy" tries to justify the apparent imperfections of the world by claiming that it is optimal among all possible worlds. It must be the best possible and most balanced world, because it was created by an all powerful and all knowing God, who would not choose to create an imperfect world if a better world could be known to him or possible to exist. In effect, apparent flaws that can be identified in this world must exist in every possible world, because otherwise God would have chosen to create the world that excluded those flaws. Leibniz distinguishes three forms of evil: moral, physical, and metaphysical. Moral evil is sin, physical evil is pain, and metaphysical evil is limitation. God permits moral and physical evil for the sake of greater goods, and metaphysical evil is unavoidable since any created universe must necessarily fall short of God's absolute perfection.

Jeff Love and Johannes Schmidt offer a fresh translation of Schelling's enigmatic and influential masterpiece, widely recognized as an indispensable work of German Idealism. The text is an embarrassment of riches—both wildly adventurous and somberly prescient. Martin Heidegger claimed that it was "one of the deepest works of German and thus also of Western philosophy" and that it utterly undermined Hegel's monumental Science of Logic before the latter had even appeared in print. Schelling carefully investigates the problem of evil by building on Kant's notion of radical evil, while also developing an astonishingly original conception of freedom and personality that exerted an enormous (if subterranean) influence on the later course of European philosophy from Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard through Heidegger to important contemporary theorists like Slavoj Zðizûek. This translation of Schelling's notoriously difficult and densely allusive work provides extensive annotations and translations of a series of texts (by Boehme, Baader, Lessing, Jacobi, and Herder), hard to find or previously unavailable in English, whose presence in the Philosophical Investigations is unmistakable and highly significant. This handy study edition of Schelling's masterpiece will prove useful for scholars and students alike.
